NOTES

  1. Mylrea's Terrace, Laxey
  2. Thomas was the older (and by then only surviving) son of William Mylrea jnr & Jane Killip. He was born in 1841 in Lonan
  3. He did not marry, but lived with his parents until their deaths in 1883 & 1879 respectively
  4. He was listed variously as a carter and car proprietor and was a lead miner in his early years
  5. It seems from this document, and an 1889 document as well as his will, that Thomas could not read or write, surprising since his father was literate
  6. This transaction indicates that Thomas was in a position to lend money
  7. The deaths without issue of the two unmarried sons of William jnr & Jane, ie. William & Thomas, spelled the end of this line of Mylreas that reached back to Braddan of the early 1700s
  8. The Mylrea family has several headstones in the Lonan Cemetery
